Trails of Every Flavour

National Trails Day, June 1, is a many-splendored thing, because the trails it celebrates cover such a vast spectrum. Trails are long and short, urban and rural, for taking a gentle stroll through the wilderness and for picking up the groceries.

Trails have become as diverse and varied as the American people they serve. As America has changed over the decades, so too has the humble trail evolved into an important part of everyday life for millions of people.

National Trails Day is the perfect moment to celebrate the trail that you use and appreciate, whatever its size, shape or style. Hosted by the American Hiking Society, National Trails Day offers a wide variety of community events, hikes and rides, demonstrations and work parties to get involved in.

National Trails Day is also the perfect excuse to simply get out on your local trail and enjoy it however you can. One of the most potent forms of advocacy is just being on the trail, using it whenever you can, demonstrating support with your presence.
